A dog that is well-exercised is unlikely to be hyperactive otherwise. However, there is a fine line between exercising your dog and riling him up. Walks are a good way to get rid of pent-up energy, and so are games like fetch. Just make sure you aren't encouraging your dog to go crazy while engaging in these activities.  It is important that your dog gets physical exercise every day. How much exercise and how strenuous depends on your dog's age, breed, and health. Visit the American Kennel Club's breed description website to learn about your dog's needs.  Your dog should receive regular mental exercise, too. You can even incorporate this into his dinner time by making him work for his food (by putting it in a dispenser or toy designed to release a little at a time). A crowded dog park is the ultimate context for over-stimulation. It is best to avoid these places altogether while you are training your dog to be calmer and more obedient. Don't deprive your dog of all canine interactions, though; find a playmate for your dog (preferably that of a friend or family member) that is roughly your dog's age, size, and temperament for him to interact on occasion.  Prolonged and intense stimulation, such as is experienced at a dog park, may seem like a great outlet for your dog, but in reality this can wind him up and make it more difficult for him to calm down, even long afterward. This advice applies to other situations with lots of people and/or dogs, too (such as parades, festivals, concerts, farmer's markets, etc.). If you hope to be able to take your dog out in public without him causing a scene, put significant effort into leash training. A leash provides any easy way to test your dog's tendencies (he'll forget he's on a leash whenever it isn't pulled tight) while allowing you to correct bad behavior. This requires lots of time and patience, and works best if you use treats to reinforce good behavior.  Make sure your dog is not already overly excited before you go on your walk. Stand quietly and wait for him to stop barking, spinning, jumping, or whatever before you head outside. Never let the dog pull on the leash. Keep him next to you at all times, and stop walking any time he jolts ahead of you and pulls. Give him a treat when he's paying attention to you and when he's doing a good job of sticking by your side. Use verbal commands such as "heel" or "slow" to signal your dog and reward him when he does what you are asking. Eventually, he will learn what these terms mean and respond accordingly. Walk at a brisk pace at first to make it less difficult for your excited pooch to match your walking speed. You can use quick, sharp jerks of the leash to tell your dog when he is behaving inappropriately -- just make sure you don't pull on it, as this could make him think pulling is okay. If your dog's wild behavior is the result of anxiety or nervousness (such as during the Fourth of July fireworks), you can calm him down by having him wear a shirt that gently hugs his body. This mild squeeze has a calming effect on animals (humans included) and is similar to being hugged.  This will work best if you do not put your dog's Thundershirt on him unless he is feeling scared or anxious. "Thundershirt" is the name of a trademarked invention; visit their website for more information about their products. Alternatively, you can purchase a regular pet shirt that fits your dog snugly (but not too tightly); these are easy to find at any pet store or online.

Cutting the roll in half is a good option but you may like the doll taller or shorter.  In a large bowl, mix the strips with craft glue and water. Mix with your hands until they make a paper pulp. Create a slightly raised mound at one end to serve as the minion doll's head. The other end should be left flat, in line with the cardboard roll's base. Let the pulp dry inside the roll––it will dry fastest if left in direct sun for 5-6 hours. The finished roll forms the body of the minion doll.

You can use nonfat, low fat, or regular. If you can't find fresh parsley, use 1 teaspoon (15 grams) dried parsley instead. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl every so often, so that the plain sour cream doesn't settle at the bottom. You can dip the tip of a spoon into it, or you can taste it with a potato chip. This will give the dried onion time to absorb moisture from the sour cream and soften. It will also give the herbs and seasonings enough time to release their flavors into the sour cream. The dip will last in the fridge for 5 to 7 days.

Serve with potato chips or vegetables, and refrigerate any leftovers.
